IMPROVEMENT IN CHECK-RUNNERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 142,160, dated August 26, 1873 application filed August 12, 1872.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that -I, JOHN HAGGERTY, of Corry, in the county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Check-Runner; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the saine, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification.

My invention consists in providing the base portion of the loop or runner with projections, to prevent the same turning ony its axis, and in combining therewith a screw and disk, (or washer,) which are applied to the opposite side of the strap or headpiece of the bridle,

as hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawing, A indicates the runner, formed in one piece with the baseblock B, which has pins or projections a onits flat under side. To secure' the runner to the crown-piece C of a bridle, a perforation is first made in the latter suitable to receive a screw,

D, which is passed through a metal washer, e,

v and has its head countersunk therein.

The screw enters the block B of the loop, and

'when screwed home causes the pins a to enter the leather, and thus all the parts are securely fastened together, and the runner-'cannot be turned on the screw in either direction, by reason of the resistance offered by the pins.

The device may be readily detached and applied elsewhere, and is, withal, ornamental,

durable, and cheap.
